"Lamine Yamal is 16 years old and looks like he is 27"

Spain have already qualified for Euro 2024 from Group A along with Scotland, having won six of their seven matches. They complete their qualifying campaign by taking entertaining Georgia in Valladolid on Sunday.

Alvaro Morata has become an indispensable part of the Spanish national team. He is already captain and, if he continues to score more goals, he will soon catch up with David Silva and Fernando Torres in the list of top goalscorers for 'La Roja'.

The 31-year-old was asked at a press conference about his young compatriot Lamine Yamal and how he is adapting to playing for Spain. "Well, he's 16 years old and he looks like he's 27 years old.

"I also think it's something to congratulate all the people and coaches he's had because the truth is that he's a super-mature boy and already a reality for the Spanish national team and Barcelona," he told reporters.

Yamal had become Spain's youngest player and scorer in a 7-1 qualifying win against Georgia in September and on Thursday he rounded the goalkeeper and scored with a powerful finish.
